Chapter 33 The first step to becoming a god!
In the Baratheon Observatory.

Moen is waiting in line to use it.

Stargazing was once the exclusive preserve of the nobility, and commoners were even once prohibited from gazing up at the stars.

This was partly due to the nobles' desire to demonstrate their power and difference.

But if we go back to the origin, we will find that prohibiting civilians from looking up at the stars is for protection!
The starry sky in this world is not the real starry sky.

In the distant ancient times, looking up at the starry sky would result in pollution.

It was the Eternal King who used his life to take back the starry sky for mortals!

However, after the death of the Eternal King, mortals were still not allowed to look up at the stars because the nobles monopolized this privilege.

This caused dissatisfaction among the mortals, and in the end, the starry sky that the king gave to the mortals with kindness was taken back from the nobles by the mortals with unity.

These stories have been passed down by many bards to this day.

In order to commemorate the Eternal King's kindness, even the observatories in human territories are built in the elven style.

Therefore, because of its unique artistic attainments in the urban area, the Baratheon Observatory is loved by couples in love and parents with children.

The former needs the beauty of this place, while the latter wants to expand their children's horizons.

That is why, even though this place is far away from the city, Moon still has to wait in line for a long time.

As for using his meritorious status to jump the queue, Moon gave up.

There's no rush this time.

Please respect the people in line.

But Moon was still stunned by people's enthusiasm.

It took him nearly two hours just to queue up to enter the observatory.

This made Moon look at the surrounding elven-style buildings with suspicion.

This thing doesn’t look good at all!
This is just the elf style in human cognition. It is not easy for ordinary people to see the difference. However, Morn, who has lived in the Sacred Tree Forest for a long time, knows that this is completely a copycat.

So Moon really didn't think it was that beautiful, and he couldn't understand why so many couples would come all the way to such a faraway place.

However, Morn remembered that after his death, the elves deliberately abandoned their old culture such as writing and language in order to commemorate him.

Architectural aesthetics should have been abandoned during that period, and a new art style was adopted, just like the new writing system.

Perhaps now, the elf style that Moon understood is wrong.

Fortunately, it was just a hassle of queuing. Once we actually entered the observatory, there were not many people either in the observatory in the center of the observatory or in the observatory tower on the top floor.

The vast majority of couples come here simply for the elf aesthetic.

They have little interest in stargazing. It requires too much professionalism.

Most of the other parents with children also took their children to visit the murals and documents in the observatory.

So Moon easily used the astronomical instrument he needed.

In Moen's hometown and Renlian, people use astronomical telescopes for stargazing.

But here, the starry sky is not really a starry sky.

Therefore, super-large astronomical telescopes did not appear.

Instead, this astronomical instrument, which was derived from the planetarium, was used.

The planetarium is a mystical instrument that prophets will only create and use when they reach the fourth level of astrologers.

Not only is it extremely complicated, but even the astrologers who created it often cannot fully use it.

The purpose of making a planetarium is to accurately predict the direction and destiny of a country, a ruler, and even the world.

There are so many distractions here that it’s unbelievable.

Moon knew that the first generation of the Prophet, Sequence Zero, had smashed the planetarium because he could not use it to his satisfaction.

And then I took the blame myself
The reason is that historians believe that if anyone wants to achieve the final victory in the War of Apocalypse, the Mobius Cosmosphere in the hands of the Lord of Prophecy that can predict the direction of everything must be destroyed!

Although there is still debate about who destroyed the Mobius Planetarium, the most popular candidate is Moon.

Because He is the only Firstborn who transcends fate.

Obviously, only the eldest son, who is the only one who has transcended fate and death, can surpass the observations of the Mobius planetarium.

It was very reasonable, so reasonable that even Moon felt there was no logical problem with it.

But the biggest problem is that He smashed that thing himself!
Because it is extremely difficult to use!
But few descendants know about this.

Even if people knew about it, most of them would think it was just unofficial history and ignore it.

The planetarium was created by prophets, and the Lord of Prophecy is the pinnacle of this art. Who would believe it if He couldn't even use the planetarium to His satisfaction?

Moon didn't believe it at the time!
At that time, Moon always thought that this was false information deliberately released by the other party.

Just to confuse yourself.

Moon remembered that he laughed at the other party for being so stupid. How could anyone believe such a thing?

It was not until Moon actually broke into the chalk tower that belonged to him and saw the debris all over the ground that he realized this was actually true!

So Moon had to take the blame.

However, it was also because of this that he misjudged his own prophecy and led to his own death.

But by that time He would have been dead, so it would have been impossible for Him to discover what was wrong with His predictions and interpretations.

The stargazer is an extremely simplified version of the planetarium.

Correspondingly, the ability to accurately predict fate has been completely lost.

However, the function of predicting the direction of the stars is still intact.

Although it is still a bit too complicated for ordinary people.

But who is Morn?
Moon was the one who personally sent away three generations of Lords of Prophecy!

In order to blind their eyes that are peeking into the future, Moon's understanding of the prophets is actually deeper than the prophets themselves.

If it was a planetarium, Moon wouldn't dare to say that he could use it, but he really had no problem with the simplified version of the planetarium.

Next to the stargazer stood the old curator of the observatory with a smile on his face. When he saw Moon coming up, he asked with a smile:

"Young man, would you like me to teach you how to use the stargazer?"

"Don't worry, I know how to help even a novice find the Lyra constellation!"

In this culture, the Lyra constellation symbolizes love.

Because in the distant ancient times, there was a pair of lovers who were blessed by the gods and kings for their everlasting love. They flew into the starry sky with a harp that symbolized their love and turned into the current Lyra constellation.

Many couples who come here want to find the Lyra constellation on their own.

As for why there was no pretty girl following Moon.

The old curator explained that Moon came here to scout the location and practice in advance.

The old curator has seen many young people like this and is happy to help.

Mo En smiled and shook his head to refuse:

"No thanks, old sir."

The old curator was not angry, he just nodded to show that he understood.

The apprentice next to the old curator was a little angry, because as soon as Moon started to use it, he knew that this man didn't know how to use the astronomical instrument at all!
Who would start out by turning the star basin upside down?

Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by the old curator.

The apprentice looked up and found that his teacher was looking at his operation in disbelief.

"teacher?"

The old curator hurriedly stopped the young apprentice:

"Hush, quiet, quiet!"

The opponent's method is so ancient that it has been abandoned.

But the reason for abandoning it is not that it is not useful. On the contrary, this method can get everything you want extremely quickly and accurately. Its only problem is that it is too complicated and obscure. It requires an incredible talent to get started.

To be honest, it was the first time for the old curator to see it in action.

In the past, he just knew it existed but had never seen anyone use it.

As the old curator spoke out to stop it, more and more people noticed everything here.

They were all looking in amazement at the young man standing in the center of the observatory, using everything leisurely in a posture and speed that could be called aesthetic.

This makes people stop and admire.

What surprised them even more was that as the ritual continued to rotate, the old curator, who they had always remembered as calm and steady, raised his hand and shouted almost crazily:
"Open the domes quickly, open them all!"

The old curator had never behaved so out of control before, which made people even more curious.

As the observatory staff hurriedly pulled down the operating lever.

The entire observatory is completely exposed to the moonlight and the starry sky.

It was also at this moment.

As the moonlight fell perfectly and passed through the layers of rituals set up by Moon.

The stars that fill the night sky are scattered by the inverted star bowl and directly reflected in the entire observatory!
For a moment, many people couldn't even tell whether it was a reflection or they had really arrived among the stars.
This is a beauty that goes beyond the cognition of most people!

“Too beautiful?!”

"Oh, gods, oh, miracles!"

"What did I see? Is this a miracle?"

The old curator was also looking at everything around him in disbelief.

A stargazer can really do all of this!

My teacher once said to me with regret but complacency.

It is said that he once used a stargazer to cover the entire observatory with stars.

Just once though!
The old curator believed in this when he was young, but as he grew old he was unable to reproduce it.

He began to doubt the truthfulness of what his teacher said.

I didn't expect it to be true!

The stars could literally fill the observatory.

Oh, by the way, where is that young man?
This scene lasted for a full ten minutes.

It will not disappear until the corresponding constellation rotates to another position.

It was also at this time that the old curator and the people remembered to look for the young man who brought all this.

However, Moon, who got the answer, had already left.

This makes people feel regretful, but also feels that this is the right thing to do.

Yes, people like this are destined to be in a different world from them.
-
While people were still admiring the beautiful view of the stars covering the observatory, Moon had already reached the mountainside.

He already had the answer.

The star that represented the path to the new god had literally fallen.

And according to the results of the planetarium, the star fell just five days ago!
At the moment I came over!
But it's so strange.

How come there is no movement at all for such a big thing?

Moon had seen such major events as the fall of the God's Path many times.

In ancient times, the fall of the God's Path was common.

It happens almost once every two or three hundred years.

Later, this time was gradually extended. After the first era, there were only two or three such events in an era.

In the Third Age, no new Path of God fell for the entire era.

The divine path observed by the third generation Lord of Prophecy, which is the current one, is the closest one.

The gods once speculated that there were indeed other things outside the starry sky, but the barriers formed by the many paths of gods blocked everything.

They had also optimistically estimated that when a certain number of God's Ways fell, they would be able to forcibly break through the barrier and see what was outside the starry sky.

And I don’t think this time will be too long.

But the result is that it is only now that another path of God has fallen.

It is still a long way to go before the barrier can be forcibly broken through.

In any case, the fall of the Way of God was accompanied by extremely shocking movements.

There is no exaggerated damage like that caused by a meteorite impact.

But every time the Path of God falls, even at noon when the sun's radiance is the strongest, it will be overshadowed by the light from the stars and temporarily take away the sky.

But the last time, five days ago, why was there no movement?

This is completely different.

In addition, the third generation Lord of Prophecy deliberately concealed this star from the world's knowledge.

I'm afraid that until today, even few gods and kings have discovered this problem.

It's as if someone deliberately hid all this.

Moon, who had been walking, stopped the moment this thought came to his mind.

After a moment's silence, he continued to move forward.

This is the divine path that suits him best.

There is no other reason for him to give up this path at present.

At night in Baratheon, before the curfew began, Morn walked into the door of a Chamber of Commerce on time.

Eastern Federation of Chambers of Commerce.

This is where this Chamber of Commerce belongs.

They are the most powerful among Baratheons and the ones who can best meet Morn's needs.

Not only do they have the most complete range of goods, their prices are also the most reasonable, and of course the most important thing is that they truly abide by their duties as merchants.

Ensuring guest privacy is always our top priority!

It can be said that there is no one more suitable for Moen at this moment than them.

As soon as he came in, Moon said to the front desk:

"I have a good business that I want to discuss with your person in charge."

The receptionist just smiled softly, then bowed and took Moon to the reception room nearby.

Not long after, a lobby manager came in:
"What do you need, sir?"

Moen said:

"I have some recently acquired celebrity memoirs. I think I can sell them to you in exchange for something."

"Celebrity notes? Sir, I must first tell you that not all celebrity notes can be sold at a good enough price. Oh! Gods! Sir, please come with me to the third floor, I will wake up the president for you!"

Moon didn't say much, but just took out a piece of white paper with a few words written on it.

Well, using the identity of Lord Westeros.

To be honest, Moon originally wanted to use another identity and a different handwriting.

But, how should I put it, after much thought, from Baratheon's point of view, the notes of the Grand Duke of Westeros are still the most appropriate.

Although it looks new and freshly written, in the extraordinary world, as long as the handwriting is genuine, who can say it wasn't written twenty years ago?!
This is the first step that Moon has prepared for himself in becoming a god - first resell a few of his own notes to earn start-up capital!

　This is a two-chapter chapter. I was so engrossed in writing it that I didn't notice to separate them, so I just posted them together.
